Anti-authoritarianism, through social AND economic freedom can be found here. And, there are moderate versions that allow for some regulation in order to decrease externalities. Come on in!

Not because I don’t believe in equality under the law or the need for some welfare for children at risk and people with disabilities, as well as some economic regulation (e.g. externalities, though I do concede that economic outcomes can’t be micromanaged). <br /><br />But anti-free speech on college campuses, when in the ‘60s it was the left that led the free speech movement, is an Orwellian pigs-on-two-legs moment. Atheism+ is another example: their bullying of anyone who dissents even on small issues also reflects a growing authoritarianism on the left. Interestingly, right wing authoritarianism also is mainly among the social issues crowd, in this case the Christian Right. <br /><br />I’m not sure what political label I’d choose at the moment.Dave DuBayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00417205167676405454noreply@blogger.com
